Presidents PrizeWeek 5

Week five of our President Gerry Lawlor's prize.
A superb seventeen tables were in action for the final night of the Presidents prize.
Some really tricky hands and a marvelous score of over 71% by the winning East West pair
Sean O Lubaigh and Paul Delaney made for a great nights entertainment.
Despite our best effort no one was able to catch our leader Marcin Rudzinskiwho had
too much of a lead for us to overhaul, so he becomes a very worthy winner of this years prize.
